Jagmeet Singh has a problem: ‘If the NDP are supporting the Liberals, I can’t support the NDP’

EDMONTON—On the surface, it was a dream canvassing scenario.

As the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh and a group of MPs and supporters knocked on doors in the highly sought-after riding of Edmonton Centre, a middle-aged man and his young adult son spotted the leader from afar and hurried across a strip mall parking lot to say hello.

… “Unfortunately, I just think the country, in the state it’s in right now, means I can’t support the Liberals,” he told the Star.

“And if the NDP are supporting the Liberals, I can’t support the NDP either.”

Canada takes no clear position on ICJ interim ruling in Gaza genocide case

Canada will continue to closely follow the case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Friday following an interim ruling that ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza.

The ruling did not order a ceasefire. It also called on Hamas to release hostages taken in its deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel and represents a closely watched step in a legal process that could take years to fully play out.

The Liberal government must stop using tax policy as a behavioural-influence tool

The current federal government has embraced an activist approach to tax policy, using it as a social engineering tool to influence behaviour and advance the Liberals’ progressive agenda. But the downsides of this interventionist strategy to our tax system are becoming increasingly apparent.

Ottawa’s approach has resulted in confounding complexity, rising compliance and administrative burdens, and a global view that Canada is not a very welcoming place to do business. We should instead pursue tax reforms that improve our business climate and make this country a more compelling destination for investment.

Braid: Trudeau has blown his term with focus on obsessions, even losing moderates

In Montreal, the Trudeau Liberals found a few hours to talk about inflation and economic troubles.

About bloody time, although much too late.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet have frittered away nearly a term with their obsessions — firing out unrealistic emissions targets while rents and prices soar, nodding sagely at social extremism, registering barely a tic of discomfort while pro-Hamas demonstrators call for Canadians to be killed.

Where Are the Protagonists of the Emergencies Act Crackdown Two Years Later?

Many public figures became household names around the time of the Freedom Convoy in the winter of 2022, for actions they took or didn’t, or for what they said or perhaps wish they hadn’t.

The Federal Court ruled Jan. 23 that invoking the Emergencies Act was not justified and that it led to violations of charter rights. Here’s a look at the status of key figures involved in the events.

Taboo on Immigration Talk Slowly Lifting as Housing Remains Hot Political Issue

“Supply, supply, supply” has been the mantra of both Liberals and Conservatives to address the housing crisis. However, both have now begun to talk more openly about the impact immigration is having on the demand side of the equation.

While the Liberals have remained publicly committed to their regular immigration targets, they’ve recently admitted that temporary forms of immigration, especially those pertaining to international students, are “out of control.”

Trudeau’s mass migration cult is destroying Canada

Quality of life, per capita income and social cohesion are being sacrificed to a third world ‘population trap’

When wokeness, the making sacred of historically-disadvantaged minorities, takes control of a society like Canada, the effects go far beyond plans to stock tampons in men’s bathrooms. There, taboo-driven mass immigration is not only resulting in cultural tensions but in economic paralysis and soaring housing costs.

You know things have gone crazy when even economists at the National Bank of Canada are sounding the alarm. They say the country has entered a “population trap” in which savings are sucked into providing infrastructure and capital for new arrivals, impairing economic growth. More than that, the immense pressure of the 1.2 million new residents the country added in 2023 is driving the cost of housing through the roof. To put this number into scale, it’s larger than the population of most Canadian cities and 8 of the country’s 13 provinces and territories.

Trudeau is Canada’s worst PM in history.

Liberal MP backs away from leadership review comments as caucus meets in Ottawa

Avalon MP Ken McDonald told CBC News he thinks it’s time for party members to “clear the air” and have a conversation about the direction of the party.

Article content
But as he prepares to meet with his colleagues today, McDonald is climbing down from those comments.

In a statement, he says he did not mean to call for a leadership review and continues to support Trudeau because he has the best interests of Canadians at heart.


They killed Kenny!

Why are Lib MP’s loyal? Likely because they hope to be awarded a cushy sinecure after being booted from office next election.

No sane individual can expect a Trudeau win after the horrific damage he has done to Canadian society.

Damage he cannot fix no matter how hard he lies.

Of course that worm theory could be true.
